Not too shabby! I've done about half the things on my list so far this week. Still have about ten more to do.

Last night went to Museum Mile, which is the one night of the year that about eight museums are open free to the public along Fifth Avenue. This was my first year going but I've learned two things. 1) If something is free, everyone and their mother will be there 2) Sachertorte is now my favorite dessert!

In other news, Mr. Flake called last night to tell me that 'his weekend got away from him' which is why he didn't return my call Friday. WTF? Anyway, he's out of town until Sunday which is when I will return his phone call. Hey, my week got away from me!
